Ascents in Leonidio having Beta

Quite pumpy and smeary feet tufa climbing

First dog lap, amazing line and some very tricky moves

So many kneebars, amazing pumpy steep climbing with good rests. Managed 2nd go today after a first lap refining beta. 4th go total

Harder than I wanted for the end of day

Wicked, not a giveaway up high

Another hard first move I couldn’t pull, the top was great

Hard first move that I couldn’t pull

Fell at dyno once, lowered, then sent.

Cool climbing but extremely pumpy

Slightly tricky start then beautiful climbing on tufas and stalactites

2 boulder problems with a hard end. Cool climbing though. Fell off the last couple of moves both times…

Fun boulder problem!

Finally felt at home on this climb! So lovely!

Wetish and warming up so didn’t like how hard the crux was.

Fell at the top on both red point attempts. Last move is hard. Great steep bouldery top. 2 boulder problems separated by a no hands rest.

Got the rests pretty well and had enough to get to the top. What an awesome climb

Awesome fun steep thugging with all the knees you need . First go today, 2nd total.

Came close, fell off at the last bolt before the chains today

Awesome route, onsight but with the draws in (they were hanging when we got to the crag). Had to fight very hard!

Lap to clean

Great tufa and stalactite climbing

Very bouldery but cool moves

Similar in nature to its next-door neighbor, but with a less sustained nature, and trickier crux. It also has some exposed bits that are somewhat insecure to clip. Satisfying send, but probably not the greatest techy climb in the world

Stoked to get this first try! Very techy and fingery, but engaging and interesting. Beware of loose block, which adds a bit of difficulty by having to avoid it.

Chill stemming up a groovy dihedral. Used it to take some shots of Selene's climb. Great views of the monastery!

Without having the guidebook, we figured this tufa-riddled climb would be a suitable warm-up. After Chrissy almost got the OS, I went up with double kneepads, and barely made it up the final mantle, with a banging headache, too. 7a seems harsh. Had to try more than other 7a+, so I think that should be the correct grade (guidebook says so as well). Stoked to get it first go!

An adventure and lots of bat poo hahaa

7A+ in the guide, felt pretty hard. Fun little route

When in doubt, go left

Don't know why but I hated this climb

No way this is a 5c, more like 5a-5b. It is smooth and nice though.

Amazing bottom 2/3 on great tufas and jiggy holds. Still pretty engaging but some good rests. Crux felt reachy and committing and moves to anchors were also pretty hard when pumped

Super cool slabby stemming up a corner with a fun jiggy finish. Used lots of technique on this one

Good quality tufa climbing with a bit of a sharp start and finish. Fell going for the bulge headwall but found the good holds right after

Quite sharp delicate tufa climbing. Ok but not amazing

Misread the crux and fell. Quite a good route but very sharp crux onwards so didn't want to commit to throwing for holds.

Classic thin, delicate face climbing. Holds are mostly amazing aside from the thin cruxes which kept me on my toes.

Nice aside from the 1 move wonder crux, which wasn't too hard if you've got the reach but is a bit of a shutdown otherwise.

Quality mostly pocket pulling

Slightly misread the crux and fell going for a bad hold. Lots of chalk everywhere,even on bad holds so a bit hard to tell what to use. Great climb on small tufas

Maybe better after a clean but very dirty, sharp and unpleasant on the first few bolts. Stripped it after the 3rd bolt as was very uninspired.
